The Crowbar Pub in Trafalgar - An Essential Trip!

Like everyone else in self-imposed semi-quarentine I'm bored, but The Little Woman and I managed to visit The Crowbar Pub on State Road 135 just north of SR 252 in "downtown" Trafalgar for some carry-out food.  We had been inside the place a couple weeks before the Great Lockdown began, so I'll include some obervations about that here just in case you're bored enough yourself to read them.

This is a local watering hole with the usual crew of colorful regulars who cluster at one end of the bar, but it's also a sort of roadhouse:  Motorcyclists from Indianapolis often make the scenic ride to Brown County State Park, and Trafalgar is a convenient waypoint to make a stop enroute to or from the park.  The Crowbar accommodates them with a good-sized area in the lot reserved for cycles, and they recently added a spacious enclosed rear porch with its own bar and large roll-down garage-style window doors that can be opened when the weather is nice.  The regular bar room itself is a shock to most travelers from Indy because it is so damn' clean, lacking any of the endearing/disgusting patina/dirt that most of the Big City's imbiberies (yeah, it's a made-up word) have.

Okay, I'm not bored anymore so I'll wrap it up-- the place is simple but very nice inside, the staff is generally friendly, and the food, although mostly just the standard pub grub, is very good.  I did have one unusual item, a ground pork-patty sandwich that had excellent flavor.  Prices are in the middle of the $$ range, so TLW and her Cheap Bastard husband were pleased.
